Your openings have been phenomenal for the past several shows, and tonight was no exception. This was definitely a great start to the year. Could we hear:
Fields of the Nephilim- Preacher Man
Please and thank you as always.
Can you dig up “The Cardinal Sin” by Dead Can Dance for next Sun’s show? Thanx!
Tonight’s show was great but had to be the fastest show I’ve ever listened to….usually shows seem to last much longer
Had a request…was wanting this song to be dedicated to a Lindsey in Idaho
This Mortal Coil: Song to the Siren
Thanks
Happy New Year! Loved hearing kmfdm and love and rockets tonight.
This was one of your best shows without a doubt. Japan, Kate Bush, Kraftwerk, Bauhaus, that live Siouxsie cut, Yazoo, Adam and the Ants, AND Depeche Mode! So many grand selections. And the transition from My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult to Nitzer Ebb was superb. So nicely done. Cannot praise tonight’s show enough.
Some requests for your consideration for a future episode:
The American – Simple Minds
Spellbound – Siouxsie and the Banshees
Vienna – Ultravox
Hammer Horror – Kate Bush
Most def
Some Cure please
This was an exceptional show to start the new year! So many outstanding songs.
Could I hear, Spring-Heeled Jim by Morrissey please.
Thank you
Ian McCulloch – Me and David Bowie
Lovelorn Dolls – Just Like Heaven
I got my first request for 2022! For the new year I’d like to request New Order “Too Late.” Btw thanks for playing my Japan request and choosing the ‘Oil On Canvas’ version was a nice surprise.
Thank you for Invaders of the Heart1 Loved it so much I included it in my guest DJ set at WRNR in 99.
I’m gonna try for Dead Can Dance again this week Matt
how about Black Sun
Thanks
Rocking episode to start off 2022!
Here are some DW requests –
The Church – When You Were Mine
Also, anything in remembrance of David Bowie, as his death was on 1/10/16, and I believe Low also came out around that time in January of ’77.
Thanks!
“Lost Again” By:Yello
Thanks for taking care of us yet again Matt. I especially love that you play Fad Gadget.
Being a Cleveland guy it’s only natural that I have secured my spot for the Clan of Xymox first stop in the U.S. Just down I-71 in Columbus.
I cannot wait.
Could you play ‘She” or “All I Ever Know” off ‘Spider on the Wall’
BTW- If they open with “A Day” I could as Morrissey say’s, “die with a smile on my face after all”.
Thank you Matt and please never stop!
Thank you for being the soundtrack for taking my xmas tree down. I would love to hear one of the more darker slowed down songs that Naked Raygun had in the 80s. “Peacemaker” or “Live Wire” or maybe “Treason”
great show as ever!
any chance of any of:
Romantic Me by Polyrock
Container Love by Philip Boa and the Voodoo Club
Chinese Burn by Curve?
Thanks!
Thank you for another awesome show! We are so fortunate to have you!
Some suggestions for next time:
Tori Amos – Winter
The Cure – One More Time
Depeche Mode – A Question of Lust
Great show. Loved the cuts by KMFDM and The Sound especially. And loved hearing Bunnydrums.
Would like to ask for some Balaam and the Angel. Maybe “New Kind of Love” or “Don’t Look Down”.
Thanks for the great music. Have a good one.

A Means to an End by Joy Division

Happy new year Matt Can I hear “skin on skin” by The Boomtown Rats

Thanks Matt for getting MC 900 in the set! Out of curiosity how much effort does it take with labels and etc to actually give artists air play on Sirius or do you have entirely free range? Thanks again and a haunting New Year to you!
Matt, how about Get It On from The Woodentops? That’s a lost treasure.
Matt,
“Cold” by The Cure. Speaks better than I can. Would be awesome to hear
Bowery Electric – Saved
They won’t play that here .You need to request radical shit like the Cure or David Bowie or the Smiths!
